University of Italian Studies for Foreigners of Perugia

What you'll study

Topics and disciplinary orientations depend on the specific DIN and its administrative host. Recent and current DINs in which Perugia is an operational site include:

• Teaching & Learning Sciences: Inclusion, Technologies, Educational Research and Evaluation (Administrative headquarters: University of Macerata) — operational site at Perugia's Department of Italian Language, Literature and Arts in the World (LILAIM).
• Peace Studies (Administrative headquarters: Sapienza University of Rome) — operational site at Perugia's Department of Italian Language, Literature and Arts in the World (LILAIM).

• European Studies (Administrative headquarters: University of Genoa) — operational site at Perugia's Department of International Human and Social Sciences (SUSI).

The specific curriculum, seminars and research modules are determined by each DIN consortium and by the administrative headquarters; Perugia hosts research and training activities for the listed programs and cycles.

Entry requirements

Admission, enrolment and any specific eligibility criteria are set by the administrative (headquarter) university of each DIN. Successful candidates enroll at that host institution while conducting research activities at the University for Foreigners of Perugia.

Career prospects

Career outcomes follow the disciplinary orientation of the individual DIN: research and academic positions linked to education, peace and conflict studies, religious studies, European studies, policy research, and related professional roles. The consortium model supports mobility and networking across multiple universities and research centres, which can broaden academic and applied research opportunities.
